Shree Hari

THIS BRINGS CLOSURE TO THIS TOPIC. We echo the sentiments expressed by Mr. Yadav. Kindly pay close attention to simplicity and brevity in your responses. This brings closure to this topic. Thank you all! Gita Talk Moderators, Ram Ram

---------------------------------------------

Thank you for these divine verses We have to revert to Gita to rise or are doomed We need simple Gita for children is this there and if so how do get one Chauhan

---------------------------------------------------

Dear Sadhakas, This is in response to a question from a Sadhaka regarding the simplification of Gita. If you are a Telugu speaking person, I advise you to listen to Ghantasala's Bhagavadgita Gita. Ghantasala was a very popular singer from Andhra Pradesh. He recites the slokum and then gives its meaning. It is simple, very melodious and spiritually uplifting.

Hare Krishna.

Thank you.

Dear Sadaks, First teach parables, spiritual stories, DOs and DONTs, what DOs will give and what DONTs will give. Your child will automatically learn Geetha. Children to learn basics. Child cannot be admitted in 10th standard. Geetha says, "Ithi UPANANASHIDSU". It is unpanashid. Elder themselves are contradicting on Geetha, because they have NO basics taught uin their childhood. Like- Sathyam Vadha (Speak only truth)- Dharmam Chara (Do Dharmic Acts.. B.S.

-------------------------------------------------

The issue is not difficult. We try to postpone it instead of going into it. To experience pain (any uneasiness) and uncertainty is normal. There is nothing to feel comfortable about future now. This can just be made clear to the children not as an assertion or application but through daily interactions. Children will sense freedom to create, to find 'what is True'.

Humble suggestion is : You (yourself) understand Gita first, and then transfer your understanding (of Gita) to your children (in their language, at their level of understanding). This will serve two purposes : one, the children will understand Gita better (than reading any Gita themselves), and two, their confidence in you will enhance as bonus. Humbly, Saadhaka

Yes, there is a book 'Gita for Children' in English by Swami Chinmayanandaji, it is about 150 pages, only selected Gita Verses are included with a short introduction on Mahabharata. This book is a meant for the teachers or parents for teaching Gita to children, also there are questions at the end of each chapter to arouse curiosity in children.

This book is available from Chimayananda book publication centers!
